As part of Tennessee Severe Weather
Awareness Week, the City of Sevierville, along with Sevier County and
other area cities, will be testing the Code Red alert system.
The test will take place at approximately 10:00AM this Friday, March 2,
2018. At this time, all City of Sevierville residents who have
registered to receive the free Code Red alerts should receive a test
alert message.
Sevier County 911 provides the Code Red alert system and allows
individual cities in the county to administer the program for their
respective residents and businesses. Registration is free. When
registered, you will be notified by local officials in the event of
emergency situations or critical community alerts. Examples include:
evacuation notices, bio-terrorism alerts, boil water notices, and
missing person reports. In addition to receiving emergency alerts, users
may choose to receive general alerts such as major road closures or
significant interruptions in City services. Users may also choose to
receive weather-related messages from the National Weather Service.
City of Sevierville residents and businesses may register online at
www.seviervilletn.org. The Code Red icon can be found near the bottom of
the home page. Click the icon and follow the registration instructions.
